I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
So I don't really have much rivalry, or if there is any, I don't really know anything about it. Because, you know, I'm not around girls like that. The friends I have in the business, I'm always really happy for them. I think we're always happy for each other. That sounds crap, but it's true.
It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.
I've got guns now. It's kind of gross.
The performances I enjoy are the ones that are hard to read or ambiguous or left-of-centre because it makes you look closer and that's what humans are like - quite mysterious creatures, hard to pinpoint.
The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.
It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.
Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.
After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
If you can capture the humanity of a family struggling in an economic crisis you can make a difference. You can raise awareness just of the simple humanity.
I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it's unfair to represent an image of yourself if it's not true. They're gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.
